Look back on Week 2

[Rodge_Rabbit]

Dear TWL Players,

A little late for the look back, but better late then never! Reason we are late is a statistic problem and myself getting addicted by World of Warcraft (im trying to combine, but its so damn hard to resist!) Anyway, without further talk, lets get down to the real deal:

TWL Statistics:
TWL still struggles with the TWL statistics. The new bot has problems converting all good to the TWL website, and this means a lot of research how, what and when to do things. This caused also trouble getting the schedule for Week 3 up. As you can see now, its up and negotiations will be running till friday 17 EST (22GMT).
We continue to work hard on the statistics for the past weeks, but this can take a lot of time still.

Appeals: Denied
TWL ops received four appeal emails, they all featured the complaint about the Sunday 13:00 matches. Complaint was that a router along the west coast caused massive lag to players, making the matches unbearable.
TWL ops agreeed that this router didn't affect the major of the games, and enough players were on to replace. All matches are holding the same standings, and no replays will be granted.
Also, in the TWLB game Pallies versus Sk8 the complaint was about a flag jupe (the flag not able to be changed for a certain amount of time). TWL Ops agreed that the outcome of the came can't be predicted if this didn't happen. The results will stay the same.

TWL Maps
I will make the TWL Week 3 map package after this news post, and put it up. Be sure that Week 5 will be the last change updates for the maps. After that, no maps or changes will be accepted.
After the negotiations is complete, the arena list for Week 3 will be posted.

to tell us that not having banzi and weaver available due to lag in a 2 point loss to simulate seems a bit patronizing.

oh well.

Enough players..... yeah sure, 5 peeps is enough for a basing match.... but seriously.... we played 8 vs 6 kinda all game, and you tell me we had enough people on to replace the laggers???

Even if we had enough it might not have changed the major of the game.... but still it kinda fucked up the whole match.

Pjotter, notice the expression "the major of the games."

It is obvious the game will get affected if a starter can't play.

If an unpredictable server crash, router failure, TWBot failure, or other event has a massive impact on a game in progress, the match will be cancelled and all current scores discarded. The game will then be replayed at a later time. (See Rules 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04)

Having the majority of your squad lagged calls for a massive impact. I totally disagree. But not like it matters.

How does a forced 6v8 in a basing match represent what Pirates are capable of? Truly. We aren't a squad that has activity problems, but it just so happens that on that day there was a massive lagout of westcoast players. Having Mambo beat us 15:00 to 0:13 does not represent well in the overall representation of TWL, and the TWLB ladder towards playoffs.

[Hercules]

Whats the point of having rules if nobody is going to follow them, not even the ops themselves. Are they just there to fill up space?

[Sufficient]

Why no subbing?

[Cyrus]

Truly. We aren't a squad that has activity problems,

I wouldn't mind if it got replayed, but showing 8 to a basing match could be considered as activity problems, since you'd have noone in spec to take care of subs/switches and shipchanges

[Bosshawk]

to be honest pirates...

i watched your whole game, and other then at one point u had 1 guy in spec.... u never had enuf to start the game the whole time...

lag issues dont hit till u try to play..........u never had enuf for that game that even showed up....

We had 8, but cus of router problems 2 couldn't play..... and let me state rule 4.01: If an unpredictable server crash, router failure, TWBot failure, or other event has a massive impact on a game in progress, the match will be cancelled and all current scores discarded. The game will then be replayed at a later time. (See Rules 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04)

So it's either host his fault or our fault for not telling the host to cancel the match..... Rules are rules, and i don't know whether the host should notice we lack players cause of router problem or whether squadcaps should inform the host that they can't get enough in cause of router problem.... The one way it should be replayed, the other it shouldn't be. Maybe define some rules a little better to not get any "whining" and other stuff about it.

Hercules and I sat in spec for the whole game. Maybe you should buy eyes before you start bullshitting.

[Kim]

Yea wtf, bosshawk, you come in here acting like you have a full grasp of our situation, only to alter to the truth against our favor. I believe the host at the time was Rodge_rabbit, and he can confirm that we had 8 players, and that 2 could not play from the very beginning.

[Underground]

then if the guy in spec was phrenitis it wasnt 100% because of the router.. hes not clearly from West Coast. He is what I could say a laggot from Finland I believe.

That's the key there
